摘要
风力发电是当今世界发展最快的能源项目。1998-2002年,风力发电装机容量以年均32%的速度高速增长,到2002年底世界累计风电机组装机容量超过31 000MW。到2003年底,中国累计安装风力发电机组1 042台,装机容量56万kW,远远低于其他国家水平。可再生能源投资组合标准(RPS)要求供电商必须拥有一个最低的可再生能源比例,EPS所依赖的是以竞争、效率和创新为根本的市场化运作方式,并要求风力发电企业以最低的成本运作。EPS符合我国刚刚通过的《可再生能源法》的宗旨,从运营机制上遏制化石燃料电厂污染物的排放。
Wind energy is the world＇s fastest-growing energy source with installed generating capacity increasing by an average 32% annually for the five years （1998-2002）. Cumulative global wind energy generating capacity topped 31,000 MW in 2002. In contrast to it, by the end of 2003, China＇s wind generating capacity achieved 560 MW. It is far from the needs of protecting circumstance. The Renewable Portfolio Standard （RPS） is a flexible, market-driven policy that can ensure that the public benefits of wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy. The policy ensures that a minimum amount of renewable energy is included in the portfolio of electricity resources serving a state or a country. It could also match the articles of 《The Law of Renewable Energy》 of our country and restrict emissions of fossil power plants automatically and efficiently.
